[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MrHassell:
SEUS Bootstrap DRM

Kexec has very little chance of working either. It's already compiled as a module by default and exists in /system/bin/ - have a look in root explorer and you can see this in seconds.

The "master" certificates as Maxfron stated, DO NOT exist on any developers computer anywhere. They reside inside of Octopus DRM and any Marlin client (X10 series phone) would instantly have the certificates revoked at boot strap, before anyone had the chance to release the hack. Read all about it.. Sony learned much from the PS3 being compromised and if it had Marlin in place, the hack would not have stuck...

That is why they implemented it into the Xperia models. You want to find a key of any value, stop looking in the firmware for a start! Worthless garbage that anyone can download from Sony, for free - it's open source and so are the certs - they are included, they don't sign anything though! HA... otherwise they would not give them away with their source code, completely uselss.

The only key that of any use is inside the ROM (you can't see inside here because the entire firmware is virtualised, which is why the phone is so slow and sluggish - it's crippled by a hardcore DRM) which exchanges values on the boot strap via Nautilus web services, dependant on one thing... The Baseband - so anyone notice how a new Baseband in Firmware .435 just went live?

Instant revocation, signing and exchanging if required and Inter trust have an indecent response team, that have NEVER been deployed because everyone is messing about with firmware...calling them ROM's and wasting time, looking in completely the wrong place and it seems everyone has failed to understand the concept of what this DRM is.

Just have a think about this. The PS3 was compromised and if it had Marlin on the Boot strap it would have been impossible and this is a fact. Now... go make me a recovery zip file that I can load in a

prove me wrong

(please you would make me so happy to have a decent phone) - you can't.

Don't hate me, I'm just the messenger. I hate this fact also but it actually is a flawless implementation of DRM. You can not beat this unless you work at Inter Trust, Sony, Samsung or one of the companies that have an interest in Octopus and Marlin DRM.

Now go buy a decent phone and stop complaining. If you really want a bootloader hacked keep in mind that with this done you can actually brick the phone. These X10's can never be bricked. Worst you fast boot flash or SEUS to restore, everything inside is virtual and nothing is running 'on the metal' and without the baseband, there is no network, there is no marlin, there is nothing.

Your entire phone is the product of a digital rights management solution and nobody was even decent enough to tell you. Anyone who owns an X10 has been deliberately misinformed and misguided by their own thoughts of being able to one day use Flash player and have Gingerbread running etc.. multiboot etc.. sorry - not like any other phone your not anyway! - Don't shoot the messenger!

The way I see it is this phone is illegal and a breach of my rights of privacy. I have been misinformed and suffered from outdated firmware (Android 1.6 Donut), that if I had not of had the interest to come to XDA and check the work of M, B, J, Z and every other brilliant person working on these things... I would still be stuck with that useless excuse of a phone!

Thankfully flashing also changes a few build.prop values and allowed me to get the official latest Eclair 2.1 firmware (this is not a rom btw people stop calling them such!) and see the differences with the Baseband and compatibility issues.

There in I took a look at what was happening on the network level and that is how I got to seeing what I could from the bootstrap process. That and some debug logs from Bin4ry and a few other people help me put it together and I **** ye not, this phone is riddled with DRM on the Bootloader - it's called... oh forget it - go look it up and read instead of wasting your time trying to crack a virtual system, the source code is there in front of you and every developer that has looked at it - knows - kexec is also there and for the same reason...

I'm looking forward to a complete Gingerbread from J and will buy him a slab of beer for everything working and load it onto this phone and go buy a decent HTC or other phone I can use to do what I want, after all I expect that when I pay for something. Sony you are misinforming your customers!

That is called deception and it all comes down to George Holtz and the PS3 master keys.

"George Hotz, has violated provisions of the DMCA, which forbids, among other things, circumventing digital rights management algorithms on hardware and software."

Now go buy yourself a decent phone, stop wasting time and use your energy and life to start making themes, skins, apps etc.. it's the most your "allowed" or ever going to be able to do with an Xperia and guess what, they even have some free tools for you called the WebSDK.. theme creator etc.. which indecently DO NOT require you to upload the entire Firmware to show you know how to use an Emulator in Eclipse.. lame lame lame.. stop ripping each other off and pay credit where it's due.

Where things are open source, full credit is required. When anything is closed source - you can not distribute or access without permission. So if anyone has the will to REALLY get the key - here is what you will need.

-An EPROM (that's right the one in your X10)

-LED's and resistors for them

-A 5V power supply

-Wire

-Bread Board or any other board (the screen maybe..)

- 12 bits for selection and 8 data bits.

You could also save yourself some time and go and buy an EPROM reader. Your looking for a master key and it will probably be encrypted, so what you will get is going to look something like the keys from Marlin that are inside your phone.. at least one of these will match...

Something will change and network activity will occur, you need to monitor and debug all this and then go into Inter trust with a small army, storm one of the most secure data centers in the world. After over throwing their security you need access to Octopus and you need to match the RSA certificate to the one there... good luck with that!
